WOYWW, Again

Well, here it is anothe Wednesday and my desk is legitimately cluttered this week. I had an all day crop on Sunday that I haven't unfinished packing from. I've been pretty good about keeping up with stuff like that lately, but didn't have a chance to in the last couple of days because....umm...a zebra broke in and tried to steal all my towels, so I've been camped out by the window making sure he doesn't come back for my wash cloths, too. I'm pretty sure that he won't be returning, so hopefully I'll have things picked up by next Wednesday. On the bright side of things, I bought that cool scrapping bag and a larger tote this week to take to crops and I LOVE them. In the past, I've been super annoying at crops, carrying my stuff in tote sort of bags and my stuff ends up all over the floor or strewn all around while I search for what I need. For this week, at least, I was able to keep all my stuff nice, neat and organized. Hopefully, once my adoration for my new bags has paled a bit (and I can't imagine that happening, I love them THAT much) I'll still keep up on keeping neater at the crops. I was much more productive and couldn't stop marveling to myself how darn organized I remained. It's a wonder I got any scrapping done at all with all the marveling I was doing. I did this page of my niece, Sam and her father (my brother, which is probably unnecessary to explain but figured I'd throw it in there, just in case) before her wedding this summer. I love My Mind's Eye Lost and Found papers. In some ways, they are hard for me to use because they're so embellished already, and it's challenging still adding my own touches to them, but in other ways, they're great because so much is right there for you. This page pretty much screamed to use the wooden Kaiser Craft bird cages (and boy, did that screaming hurt my ears. Inside voices, please, inside voices.) I was drawn to those cages the moment I saw them and was happy to have the perfect opportunity to do so.

So, that's what I've been up to this week. At least the stuff that I can tell you here.

Perfect use of the bird cage. I find those papers hard to use for the same reason you love them ... but I have to buy them as they are so pretty.I hope your sciatica never returns ...had it really badly once ...lasted 5 weeks ...not that I was counting lol ...since then I have had a few very short bouts of a couple of days only and thats bad enough.

Is that a PINK ATG in your BAG????? Who knew??? If that is a yes how cool, and so much better than the stinking yellow I have! I am well jell...if its not and ATG don't tell me, I just want to believe they exist regardless!!

Towel-stealing zebras, whatever next! Hope you have a better week. Love the layout, and you are so right about the paper, it's gorgeous and did just scream out for a birdcage :) Thanks for your much appreciated visit earlier today and I hope you are having a great day. Elizabeth x #2

Well I would say that what with admiring your new totes and fending off the zebras, you've done well to even be here today! I love your new carry-all, really can it not just sit handily by your desk so there's no need to unpack it? Am totally with you on the MME papers, you've done a great job of embellishing the embellished, it's a lovely page - lovely picture!

LOL, you crack me up girl, lol.Your layout is so pretty, that paper is gorgeous.I have a couple of those bags, one I use for my copics :)Now watch out for that zebra...his friend the unicorn might be right behind him, lol.

Your desk looks really busy, but that's what it has to be. Love the way you store your things, close to your workspace and transparant. Love your new scrap bag too. Big and with a lot of small bags and places to put your things in. Thanks for visiting me and hope you have a crafty week.Bye, Franka

There was you telling me you like space on your desk and I can't see your desk even! I do spy a pink ATG though!! Sam looked beautiful on her wedding day and you have done the MME paper proud. Well done!Now get and tidy your desk!!
